  • Canada’s Bill C-22: Encryption, Lawful Access, and Systemic Risk

    Canada’s Bill C-22: Encryption, Lawful Access, and Systemic Risk
    19 Oct 2026

    Canada’s Bill C-22 tries to frame lawful access as a bounded public-safety tool, but its technical-capability requirements keep the central encryption question alive: can exceptional access exist without creating a security weakness that someone else will eventually exploit?

    Tom Eston and Scott Wright discuss Canada’s proposed Lawful Access Act, the bill’s systemic-vulnerability safeguard, existing warrant processes, and why implementation details determine whether an exceptional-access scheme becomes a risk for everyone.

    Roblox, Robux Scams, and What Parents Need to Know
    12 Oct 2026
    Roblox is more than a game—it is a social platform where kids play, trade, spend Robux, and chat. Tom Eston and Scott Wright break down fake Robux offers, phishing links, account theft, off-platform pressure, and practical ways parents can use controls, MFA, spending protections, and honest conversations to help kids play more safely.The episode focuses on practical, non-alarmist risk reduction: learn the platform, protect accounts and payments, recognize manipulation, and make it safe for a child to ask for help.** Links mentioned on the show **Sign up for the Shared Security Newsletterhttps://sharedsecurity.net/newsletterThe Guardian — Mum, where did my Robux go?

  • Meta Muse: When Your AI Assistant Becomes the Attack Surface

    Meta Muse: When Your AI Assistant Becomes the Attack Surface
    5 Oct 2026
    Meta Muse is designed to work across a user’s inbox, calendar, browser, connected apps, and other personal services. That makes it useful—and makes its delegated authority a security problem worth examining.Tom Eston and Scott Wright discuss Meta’s stated guardrails for Muse, including isolated execution, connector separation, credential boundaries, and approval flows. They also examine reporting on a Muse authentication-token issue and why a compromised token can matter more when an agent is authorized to act across a person’s digital life.The conversation also covers privacy expectations, reports of human involvement behind AI tasks, liability when an agent makes a harmful decision, and how digital-legacy planning changes when an agent could continue acting after its owner is inactive. The practical takeaway: start with least privilege, separate read from write and spending authority, approve consequential actions, review logs, and keep a fast way to revoke access.** Links mentioned on the show **Ars Technica — Muse, Meta’s extraordinarily privileged AI assistant, has a serious 0-day https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/09/muse-metas-extraordinarily-privileged-ai-assistant-has-a-serious-0-day/Meta AI Research — How We Built Safety Into Muse https://research.meta.ai/blog/security-and-safety-for-ai-agents-our-approach-with-museMeta Help Center — How Muse handles your privacy, safety and security https://www.meta.com/help/artificial-intelligence/1047255454427887/CNBC — Meta pushes into personal AI agents in Muse Spark family https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/08/meta-personal-ai-agents-public-reckoning-privacy-safety.htmlWIRED — Meta Releases Muse, a Personal AI Agent With Privacy Built Into It https://www.wired.com/story/meta-releases-muse-a-personal-ai-agent-with-privacy-built-into-it/The Guardian — Meta’s AI agent Muse gives out user’s home address without permission https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/28/metas-ai-agent-muse-home-address404 Media — Humans Reading Copilot Prompts and Images https://www.404media.co/humans-reading-copilot-prompts-images/Scott Wright’s Digital Legacy Network LinkedIn group https://www.linkedin.com/groups/39988004** Watch this episode on YouTube **https://youtu.be/rokXbwQgTgU** Become a Shared Security Supporter **Get exclusive access to bonus episodes, listen to new episodes before they are released, receive a monthly shout-out on the show, and get a discount code for 15% off merch at the Shared Security store.
